Finding Deals through Your Referral Base

Discovering potential high ROI real estate deals is never the easiest thing to accomplish. Some of us spend our days combing through websites looking for valuable properties selling at affordable prices. Others look for opportunities to buy foreclosures by reading the classified section of the local newspaper to find out when properties are being auctioned.

Guess what? There’s another way to get access to valuable properties selling at affordable prices that you may not have even tapped into yet. It’s all about creating a referral base of people that can point you toward properties that are worthy of investing in.

Your referral base should consist of real estate attorneys, real estate agents, foreclosure lawyers, and other real estate investors. By developing a referral base with these professionals, you can help each other out by sharing information about real estate deals that have recently come into fruition.

Build Rapport and Relationships with Other Members of the Real Estate Community

After you first meet members of the real estate community, you should take time to get to know them better to build a rapport and lasting relationship. Do whatever you have to do to learn more about these people and become a part of their inner circle.

After meeting somebody, do not hesitate to invite them out to lunch, dinner, or drinks when it’s convenient for both of you. Be generous and offer to pay for everything, and do whatever you can to help these people grow and expand their business.

By helping them, they’ll see that you’re looking for more than just ways to make money off of their information. They’ll see that you’re a genuine person looking to improve your standing in the community and they will be happy to help you because it’s more than just a one sided situation. They’ll help you because they’ll be helping a new friend who’s always willing to help them when called upon.
